1414.Dexen Meat Grinder (5)
Almost in just one hour, more than a dozen spaceports on Onderon were attacked. And without exception, the attackers were elites with only a few hundred people but extremely powerful combat capabilities!
After the initial explosion attack, the defenders of these spaceports fell into chaos, making them completely unable to stop the attack of these elite teams.
boom! boom! boom! boom! Violent explosions continued to set off in the cargo loading area inside the space port, and a large number of expensive combat supplies were blown up. And the purpose of these attackers is very clear - they want to destroy a large number of Galactic Republic transport ships!
This is enough material to supply millions of troops for combat. Their squad of several hundred people cannot destroy them all. Moreover, Guardian's tens of thousands of troops and even hundreds of thousands of troops in the city will soon arrive. It is impossible to destroy Republic Army's logistics.
However, the goal of the Fourth Legion is just to destroy the transport ship, just for a short blank period.
For this purpose, they are willing to sacrifice their lives! After all, all of them have joined Rebirth Plan. Even if they die in battle, all they will lose is this memory.
Fourth Legion had actually infiltrated Onderon with the help of General Kalani several months ago and obtained official status. The battle plan at that time was that they were led by Ulu-Ulix. However, because Republic Fourth Army suddenly attacked Semirres Planet, Ulu-Ulix was urgently transferred to provide reinforcements.
Also being transferred was the armored unit Commander Lieutenant General Dai Hongkui, who was also originally planned to lead the Scorpion tank army in Onderon. After he was transferred, one of his former adjutants commanded the legion. It was under the leadership of this adjutant who had learned the true story of Dai Hongkui that the Scorpion tank Legion launched successful raids on Dexen Satellite, successfully destroying a large number of Galactic Republic's artillery positions and the expensive war machine SPHA-T self-propelled artillery.
This combat plan can be said to have been prepared for a long time. The soldiers of the Fourth Legion either became porters, factory mechanics, cleaners, or security police, lurking in various ways.
Then when Galactic Republic attacked Izzy City, all Fourth Legion's soldiers stood still and blended into the fleeing crowd to further hide.
After Galactic Republic occupied Izzy City, they prepared to build Izzy City into a logistics base. All of this was within General Kalani's calculations.
If Galactic Republic wants to set up a logistics base, it must definitely requisition a large number of local people's industries and hire local people as labor force. Therefore, at this time, Fourth Legion's soldiers can sneak into the city openly again and gain access to Galactic Republic's logistics supply base.
Finally, when General Kalani calculated that the transport capacity and troops invested by Galactic Republic on Dexen Satellite had reached their peak, Fourth Legion was dispatched!
Fourth Legion's warriors continue to carry out sabotage at the space port, blowing up supplies, creating obstacles, setting fires everywhere, and taking advantage of the chaos to destroy transport ships.
Spaceports were temporarily paralyzed by their raids and destruction.
And during this short period of time, the nearly 3 million troops on Dexen Satellite could not get any supplies!
At the same time, following General Kalani's order, Fourth Civilization Army on Dexen Satellite also started a counterattack!
More than 10,000 Fourth Civilization Army warriors, under the cover of more than 100,000 combat robots, launched an attack on the Galactic Republic Army's assembly point.
These assembly points are temporary command centers established in several places after the Republic Army took control of part of the city. Facilities including field hospitals and ammunition supply points are also set up in these places. These places were crowded with wounded soldiers and piled high with ammunition and supplies.
As long as these assembly points are destroyed, Galaxy Republic army will be dealt a heavy blow!
What was even more deadly was yet to come. Scorpion tank assembled again and the remaining approximately 100 tanks launched an attack on the Galaxy Republic Unit and several major landing points set up outside the city!
General Kalani was so accurate about the timing of this counterattack!
Physically, Galactic Republic Army has been engaged in high-intensity combat in Dexen Planet for several days. Even though there have been troops rotating, the bodies of these troops are no longer in the best condition. And one of the very important reasons is air quality!
After Wilhuff-Tarkin's previous attacks on Dexen Satellite, Orbital Bombardment, and the incessant bombing after the landing operation began, Dexen Satellite's atmosphere has been almost destroyed, and the air is filled with harmful gases. Galactic Republic soldiers must wear respirators before they can go out for activities, but how good can such respirators distributed to millions of soldiers be? It would be nice to be able to protect people from being poisoned.
In this case, the status of Republic army further deteriorates.
Psychologically speaking, Wilhuff-Tarkin's previous acquiescence and indulgence to Republic army was actually to maintain the morale of this motley crew. He originally thought that the battle would be over in a few days, so he would be able to act recklessly in these few days. As long as it was not too excessive, it would be acceptable. Anyway, after these few days, everything would return to order.
However, this method of drinking poison to quench thirst turned into a complete farce after the Onderon coup broke out and Ramses-King Dundrup overthrew the So-Gerrera regime and regained the throne.
Under King Dundrup's very tough response, Republic Army had to restrain himself. After all, Dundup had brought this matter to the parliament. If left alone, it would have a great impact on Tarkin's political reputation.
But for the Republic Army soldiers, this means that after they come back from Dexen Satellite meat grinder, they will face blunt and mediocre food, crowded tents, strict military discipline, and even the inability to pay for a prostitute - Onderon almost all local residents refuse to serve Galactic Republic soldiers.
This also reduced Republic army's psychology and morale.
Finally, there is the slack of Commander.
Previously, Dexen Satellite Steel City relied on the resolute resistance of the city shield, causing Republic army to suffer heavy losses, with more than one million casualties. This gave Galactic Republic Commander at all levels a great psychological shadow.
Therefore, after the city shield was finally breached, all Commander breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the battle would be easier. And this is also true. The defenders of Steel City retreated again and again, giving up a large area of the city, which made them begin to feel that they had a chance to win.
Therefore, General Kalani asked Adjutant Liu Zhichao to constantly pay attention to Galactic Republic's transport ship takeoffs and landings and the number of troops. When both of them reach their highest peak, that is when Republic commander wants to finish the battle and start to press the biggest trump card!
But the fact is that after giving up a large area of the city's depth, the supplies of Galactic Republic's troops began to be tight. When it comes to airdrops, the complex environment of the city and the ubiquitous cold guns prevent the transport ships from landing casually. When it comes to the ground, because the distance is extended, the supply difficulty is also increased a lot.
So at this perfect time when Republic army was at the lowest point physically and mentally, and Commander started to relax and be eager for success, General Kalani launched a counterattack!
These Fourth Civilization Army soldiers recharge their batteries and share the same hatred against the enemy. They have endured it for a long time!
Under the circumstances, Galactic Republic Army almost collapsed at the first touch, and was beaten in several places until corpses littered the ground with discarded armor and discarded armor.
In order to stabilize the front, Republic commander had to retreat and gave up large areas of the occupied city.
But Fourth Civilization Army's attacks were extremely fierce. They didn't even care about the flanks or whether they were going deep alone, they just kept moving forward and breaking through!
Inside Steel City, there were corpses and wreckage left behind after the fierce battle between the two sides.
Although Galactic Republic currently has nearly 3 million troops deployed on the Dexen Satellite frontline, which is more than six times the number of the Fourth Civilization Armys launching counterattacks, Republic armys are scattered throughout the entire frontline surrounding the city, and there are not many troops in a single direction.
After Fourth Civilization launched a counterattack, Republic Army was in a hurry, and almost all positions were running around for a while. When Republic commander finally organized several quick reaction forces to stop Fourth Civilization Army, it was already two hours later.
In just two hours, Galaxy Republic army suffered more than 400,000 casualties! But at the same time, Separatist robot legion also suffered a lot.
At the same time, under the attack of Scorpion tank, two landing points of Galactic Republic were finally destroyed.
Republic commander deployed a large number of fighter jets to bombard the counterattacking Separatist army, finally preventing the counterattack forces from causing further damage.
Under the air force bombing, more than 100 Scorpion tank were finally wiped out, and the adjutant of Lieutenant General Dai Hongkui died heroically.
And Fourth Civilization Army broke into pieces again, entered the buildings and factories of Steel City, and after reoccupying these buildings, prepared to use their lives to fight Galactic Republic to the end!
That's right, Onderon is destined to be unable to defend, so the only requirement Fourth Civilization has for the army on this planet is to delay the battle as much as possible and kill as many Republic army as possible!
All the Fourth Civilization soldiers who went to Onderon did not expect to come back alive! They left a suicide note, and those who are willing to participate in Rebirth Plan will also be given the opportunity to participate in Rebirth Plan, and join Fourth Legion.
It took Galactic Republic almost a whole day to recover from this sudden counterattack.
The spaceport on Onderon was retaken, the fire was extinguished, the damaged cargo was disposed of, the landing platform and maintenance platform were restored to work, and the transport ship took off again.
Those Fourth Legion warriors who raided and destroyed the spaceport all fought to the last man under siege by hundreds of times the enemy. But they killed countless soldiers and staff and destroyed goods and supplies! Even after this number was sent to Wilhuff-Tarkin, he became furious on the spot, his gentlemanly demeanor no longer existed, and he started swearing directly on the bridge.
The situation on Dexen Satellite is even more serious!
The nearly 3 million-strong army suffered a sudden counterattack and was completely defeated. It finally reorganized to stabilize the front and resist Fourth Civilization Army's continued advance.
After this chaos, the organization of Republic army was disrupted, a large amount of combat materials were lost and destroyed, and the wounded from the battle were everywhere, and there was no time to recover them one by one.
And because Onderon's spaceport is temporarily paralyzed, there is a short window period. During this window period, no transport ships took off or landed between Onderon and Dexen Satellite!
However, Republic army on Dexen Satellite suffered heavy losses and lost more than one-third of their personnel. They were in urgent need of a large amount of ammunition and supplies, as well as food, ammunition and other items. What is even more urgent is to send away a large number of wounded!
Dexen Satellite's environment has been completely destroyed. If these wounded are left here for too long, the air here alone will kill them!
So after quelling the sabotage actions of Onderon spaceport and repelling the counterattack of Separatist army on Dexen Satellite, Wilhuff-Governor Tarkin issued an order to immediately gather all transport ships to Dexen Satellite! Be sure to help the army on the satellite complete reorganization and supplies as quickly as possible, and restart the offensive as soon as possible!
Under his command, a large number of transport ships took off and flew densely towards Dexen Satellite.
At the same time, he also ordered to send three Acclamator-class assault ship into the atmosphere of Dexen Satellite to reinforce the operation!
At the same time, Dexen Satellite, among the secret Hangar Platform at the lower level of the command center, Doctor Zhang Jiarui was wearing a black vest, showing his explosive muscles. As he walked, he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on himself.
At this moment, his heart was also cold!
Everything that happened after Galactic Republic occupied Izzy City, he could see clearly through the intelligence personnel on the planet! He deeply hates all the crimes committed by Republic army and Suo-Gerrera, and his disgust for Galactic Republic cannot be increased.
This time, he won't show any mercy!
Doctor Zhang Jiarui came to Hangar Platform under a huge gantry, and here, parked is an extremely huge steel beast!
At a height of 20 meters, Zhang Jiarui, a muscular man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, seems as small as a kitten standing in front of an elephant!
Thor Mech!!!
Moreover, this Thor Mech has undergone a lot of modifications, and its appearance is very different. The most obvious change is that on the back of Thor Mech, the original Punisher Cannon has been removed, and what is now installed here is a spherical device.
General Kalani's voice also came from the communication, "This is our last card. After playing it, let's take advantage of the chaos and leave."
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Jiarui's steel-like mouth. He gave a thumbs up and said, "No problem! Just let me give Galactic Republic the heaviest blow!"
